Mr.. HENRI WATTERSON, the leading
journalist of the south and one of the
foremost Democrats of the country, has
been criticising pretty freely the admin
istration of Mr. Cleveland, because as a
journalist he believes it to be his duty
to his readers to tell the honest truth
about it. Here is one of the latest
pieces of his mind. which shows what
AN utter failure Mr.. Cleveland is, from a
Democratic point of view:
"Because it is the first Democratic
administration we have had in twenty
five years, we shall not submit in silence
to see it drift away from the old Demo
cratic moorings, as it has done in its
fiscal policy. dictated by the banks of
the east; in its foreign policy, dictated
by the timidity of the money power of
the east, and in its civil service policy,
dictated by the political pastry cooks of
he east, who imported it from Europe
to keep Republicans in Office and TO em
phasiZe their argument that the Demo,
cratic party is not fit to govern the
country"

THE senate bill for the redemption
and recoinage of the trade dollars, has
been passed by the House with an
amendment providing that the silver so
recoined shall not be considered as a
part of the two millions month reQuir-
ed to be coined by the act of Feb. 2Sth,
1887. The amendment is not founded
on sound financial policy, Cor the two
millions is surely sufficient to supply the
demands of trade; yet it is better to
allow the additional coinage of the sew
en- or eight millions of trade dollars
into standard dollars, than to longer
keep a disgraced coin ahoat, fraud
upon innocent holders.

EX.Gov. ST. JOHN, the alledged Prohi-

some of the functions which has here

In lecture in New York, Sunday, he

very angry few days ago while read
ing letter from constituent, who
offered him ten per cent. of his salary

him a government position. Mr. Beck
said he received many such letters. and
the percentages offered would make a

which they have not. We are left in
the dark as to whether Mr.. Beck was
angry because Democrats have no show
and consequently he has no opportunity
to earn his percentage, or because the
